Allocation Plan

Concreteness of Allocation Plan

Allocation Strategy

How do you plan on allocating the DataCap requested above? Please describe your allocation strategy with as much specificity as you can.

The most important thing about DataCap allocation is to ensure that client utilizes DataCap to store real data. so I firstly specify some rules to figure out the true identity of the applicant.
* Browse their official website to get a general understanding of the company or the individual. 
* Query the company's registration information from government related websites to make sure the information he submitted is truth.
* Ask some questions to know about the applicant's position/organization/plan/use case etc. 
* Then We will classify applicants based on their industry reputation and scale etc. All applicants will be divided into eight categories to determine the amount of datacap they will get. The following Rubric will be the primary guideline I use when evaluating a client and determining their DataCap allocation. 

You can see it: 

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1dD8aI3lsZGRp5rUWiULeRaPwFc7Z2z8tkzpdnTY-tyo/edit?usp=sharing

These scoring guidelines can serve as a tool of assessment and further to add a level of consistency across the board.

Are there any internal processes you plan on impelementing regarding the target, amount, or rate at which you'll allocate DataCap? 

The whole application process should be open and transparent, we design the necessary internal processes follows：

1.Each applicant requesting DataCap is required to formally submit a written application (in pre-specified form) and other relevant supporting information to us for our review process to kick off;

2.A preliminary review of the foregoing application will be made by our internal “Notary Taskforce” to pre-qualify the applicant, who must be a serious and well-established business entity or non-profit organization having plausible data storage demands;

3.Each applicant failing the pre-qualification will be requested to provide additional information or be simply denied, as the case may be;

4.For the pre-qualified applicant, our “Notary Taskforce” will conduct a due diligence to scrutinize its legal standing, operations and data concerned; 

5.Based on the due diligence result, a rating will be performed by us for each business entity applicant in accordance with the preceding factors and criteria, following which we will assign a score to that applicant.  Rating for non-profit organization applicants will be dispensed with; and

6.We will resolve, in the form of a written decision, the denial or grant of requested DataCap allocation and (if granted) the amount of DataCap allocated, taking into account the applicant’s score (for business entity only) and data size concerned, and will then implement the same.

How do you plan on securing the DataCap to ensure your organization (and its delegated members) are the ones allocating the DataCap?

We will adopt various authentication solution in this verification processsuch， as using multi-signature to control the allocation process. 

On the other hand，we will have some private keys that are stored in the hard wallet. on the other hand, we will set a multiple authentication mechanism (including check identity, review source of data and arrange for supervisor approval) to secure every step of DataCap allocation.

Client Due Diligence

How will you vet your Client to ensure they are spending that DataCap responsibly?

Similar to the practice of professional investment institutions, There will be three stages in verification process to ensure the DataCap is used properly.The details are as follows:
Stage New Client/small DataCap request Repeat Client/large DataCap request
Before the allocation 1. Ask for some details about his organization and use plan2. Verify the submitted information3. Score them according to our score sheet 1. Learn about his DataCap usage2. Collect details [1] about his organization and use plan.3. Detailed review of related information4. Score them according to our score sheet
During the allocation 1. 2-day waiting period for possible adjustments or disagreements2. Allocate a small amount of DataCap (less than 5TB) for trial 1. At least a 7-day waiting period for due diligence, usage review, possible adjustments or disagreements.2. A DataCap allocation agreement will be signed to clarify the rights & responsibilities of each party.3. Allocate DataCap carefully after scoring
After the allocation 1. Provide help and guidance for DataCap users2. Communicate with customers on a regular basis to know his DataCap usage and leave him a good impression on Filecoin 1. Conduct routine verification to ensure the DataCap is used properly2. Introduce a feedback mechanism to sync DataCap usage list and to optimize suggestion3. If the applicant commits any violation, we will take actions to stop further allocation or even take punishment actions 

What questions will you ask to ensure the Client can properly handle the DataCap you intend to allocate to them? 

individual and organization：

1.What's your name? What's your duty in your company? Please introduce yourself and your team briefly, and show me some your social media accounts such as GitHub, email address, WeChat official account etc.

2.For your organization, Please describe its time since inception, registration country，scale, named officers, project, industry reputation etc.

track record：

1.How did you know about Filecoin? Please describe your understanding of Filecoin storage.
2.Please describe any of your honor and disputes in the field of Filecoin.
3.Regarding your data you intend to store, What’s the original source of those data, and do you have any proof of ownership or authorization?
4. Has your organization obtained DataCap before? if so, please answer the following sub-questions.

* Please share all links and recording of your application before.
* How about your DataCap usage? Is there any remaining? Is there any information on the deals you've created and miners you've used with your previously allocated?

use plan：

1.Please describe your plan to use DataCap as detailed as possible? (including use case, amount, timespan, geography, miner, partner etc.)
2.Do you plan to record your allocation decisions and execution details in public? 
3.How do you plan to protect the DataCap you have obtained to make sure that it is used to its best advantage?
In addition, I may further ask some questions to give an accurate score to the applicant.

What processes will you employ to confirm that a Client is not improperly over-allocating DataCap to a single entity?

Firstly, from the questions about use plan and further investigation, I can know some details about his allocation plans. When scoring applicants according to the above sheet, the more geographical distribution, use cases and miners assign, the higher score he will get and the more datacap clients are likely to get.  

Next, we will keep tracking clients’ information such as the DataCap distribution records, related miner addresses and storage providers, to ensure that they are consistent with their words and deeds.

Finally, a reward and punishment mechanism will be established. If someone over-allocating datacap to a single entity, I will refuse further allocation and issue a warning which will be public to the Filecoin community. On the contrary, reputable client have the opportunity to obtain more datacap.

Bookkeeping Plan

Do you plan on keeping records of your allocation decisions? If so, with what level of specificity do you intend to respond to any audit requests?

Firstly, from the questions about use plan and further investigation, I can know some details about his allocation plans. When scoring applicants according to the above sheet, the more geographical distribution, use cases and miners assign, the higher score he will get and the more datacap clients are likely to get.  

Next, we will keep tracking clients’ information such as the DataCap distribution records, related miner addresses and storage providers, to ensure that they are consistent with their words and deeds.

Finally, a reward and punishment mechanism will be established. If someone over-allocating datacap to a single entity, I will refuse further allocation and issue a warning which will be public to the Filecoin community. On the contrary, reputable client have the opportunity to obtain more datacap.

Do you plan on conduct your allocation decisions in public (e.g. Github repo), private (e.g. over email, Telegram, etc), or both? 

In public only.
